I too have always enjoyed Paul's posts. But just so you understand folks, Paul has always been able to post here. It is merely that he has chosen...
Not so green. What you describe will only be so if the coin has been over-dipped. A coin that has been dipped properly, you can look at it and...
clad I have always agreed with your general premise. If you think back over all of the years that you and I have known each other, and it's what...
Yes, they are a MUST ! If you want to preserve your coins. But they must be used correctly. They do not last forever so they either have to be...
The "offer to owner" thing is nothing but a consignment between the owner and Heritage. The owner is using Heritage to try and sell the coin,...
For the record, there are a great many coins that have been treated with Blue Ribbon that are currently in NGC and PCGS slabs. That is not to say...
It could go either way. But since the OP is asking about 1/2 ounce silver coins and comparing them to ASEs I thought it logical that he was asking...
As to your question about the rim ding - I believe that they, yes plural, are bad enough that even if there were nothing else wrong with the coin...
Love it :thumb:
Afraid I have to echo Conder's sentiments. I'm sorry, but 5 ounces is just a bit too much for something to be considered a coin. I would put them...
Ahhh, but are you aware that NGC only changed because of a law suit ? Otherwise they'd still be doing it too. The entire purpose of the TPGs,...
OK, I can use this one. It goes back 42 years. [ATTACH] That work better for ya ? And yes my point is that coins make a lousy investment....
Trust me, you don't. For half or less than what any monthly program is going to cost, you can get the exact same coins in much better quality.
I think it would take more than just a dip in acetone, in fact I wouldn't even use acetone to remove Blue Ribbon. I'd use xylene because it will...
Honestly, put your $5k someplace else besides coins. And no I don't know where. But look below to see why I think what you are thinking is not the...
Most of these subscription programs are nothing but a way for large dealers and promoters to get rid of coins that they cannot sell any other way....
OK, pretty much everybody knows that, and has known it for decades. But I fail to see what that has to do with what we are talking about.
Eventually, but will any of us be alive to see it ? When you consider it's been 40 years already since 1972 and the sets are worth about what they...
I don't doubt that you are the only owner, but that doesn't have anything to do with what I have been saying. Apparently it has not sunk in that...
Because they are gambling. Usually the half ounce coins end up having a lower mintage than the ounce coins do so people are often willing to pay...
Separate names with a comma.
